Grand Jury Cases

This is something I feel the public should know about! This regards cases that recently were presented to the grand jury in Lubbock.

We have been let down by the "system." Children and other victims have been sexually abused, and the grand jury is letting those who are guilty walk the streets, even though there is more than enough evidence to take the cases to trial!

Something is wrong! Now another innocent child will be robbed from being able to be a child! I feel like this is not showing that the laws are to help the people when we need it most!

Why are guilty people not paying for their actions? They should not be given chance after chance. It does not make any sense. They should be removed from our streets!

Personally, I think that the laws seem to be made to protect the criminals more than us. We need stricter enforcement of the laws and we need to do something about it. (We, the people.)

I will not let this rest until justice is served! For anyone else out there who feels like you have been let down, please speak up and let's do something about it! There is no reason to sweep it under a rug. Our children today are our future tomorrow. Let's stand up for our rights and for our children.
